My name is Kristen and I am a 21-year-old university student trying out DietBet for the first time. I decided to finally kickstart my weight loss program after struggling with my weight on-and-off for most of my teenage years. The breaking point for me was in February. I was in El Salvador with some classmates and a professor completing field research and could not finish several intensive hikes. This led to me missing out on some really amazing views and experiences for the first time because of my weight. I remember crying on the way down the hill because my weight had never stopped me from being active and doing everything I wanted to before.
After dealing with a lot of stress, self-loathing thoughts, and general unhappiness with how that experience turned out over the last few months, I hope to use DietBet to help me reach some of my short- and long-term weight, fitness, and health goals.
Hope everybody works hard and stays on track this month. I just hope I can keep myself accountable this time.
Love from Canada,
Kristen
